Main Street Advisory Board <br />September 24, 2003 <br />Page 2 <br />Lindsey Harper and Linda Suarez are updating map of stores in <br />the downtown district which will be included in the brochure. <br />6. Discussion of Streetscape Project <br />Terry Townsend reported that The Streetscape Project is to begin <br />in January. Plans were approved and the project will be bid outin <br />November. Construction is to begin around January lst. <br />However, a citizen brought up the recommendation of having <br />audible pedestrian signals to ensure safety for disabled citizens in <br />the downtown area. If the recommendation is in fact passed, the <br />approved Streetscape layout could have to be revised. <br />7. Review Downtown Trash Pick-Up Solutions <br />Suzy Harper informed The Board of her conversation with <br />David Dunn regarding trash collection times. Suzy reported that <br />different stores currently pay different monthly rates. The Board <br />had no conclusive facts on the reasoning for the different rates. <br />Pike Burkhart, Sr. suggested that the trash be picked-up daily or <br />have a specific location with a locked dumpster where each store <br />could dispense of their own trash. Also, having their trash picked <br />up three days a week at a particular time was suggested. Lindsey <br />Harper agreed to talk with the downtown merchants and hear <br />their concerns and suggestions for the trash pick-ups. <br />8. Discussion of Christmas Decorations <br />Suzy Harper and Karen Wilkerson suggested hanging colored <br />Christmas balls in the trees on the square like the ones in Ft. <br />Worth. Karen offered to check on quantity and pricing so The <br />Board can get an idea of the cost. Terry suggested that they be <br />ordered after the next meeting in order to receive them in plenty <br />of time to decorate the plaza. <br />
